How To Fail With Elizabeth Day

S16 Ep9 How To Fail: Greg James on radio, rebellion and failing to be a good at fame


Listen Later

One of the only times my friend Fran has been truly impressed by a podcast guest was when I sent her a picture of me recording with Greg James. During the pandemic, Fran and her family would listen to him on Radio 1 every morning and he helped them through those long lockdown days with a necessary a dose of good cheer.
Many people around the country will relate to that story: since 2018, Greg has hosted BBC Radio 1’s iconic breakfast show, attracting around five million listeners every day. He's got one of the most beloved and familiar voices in broadcasting, so it's a total joy to welcome him to How To Fail.
He joins me to talk about his failures in cricket, in fame and...dog ownership.
